The love of the stars & exploration has been with me since a child. Nowadays I can gaze at the heaven's in the daylight hours thanks to the internet & wonderful satellite links. Not to mention the many hours of delight I get from wrapping a blanket around me & going outside on a crisp clear B. C. mountain night & gazing up to an ever changing light show! Along with the lure of the stars is my love of Mother Earth & all the natural remedies she provides.

Here is a tale of a curious soul in a world that no longer honors the curious mind. Just a thought on my part – ‘What if a bunch of hackers got curious and released all the nonsense hidden information in computers around this globe? What would our freedom and reality look like after that?”

Somehow it just doesn’t seem morally or spiritually right that a young lad with his whole life ahead of him is being threatened with 70 years in jail by Planet Earth’s war-mongering U.S. of A.

He hacked into the Oxford University network and found the whole business "incredibly exciting. And then it got more exciting when I started going to places where I really shouldn't be. Like "The US Space Command".McKinnon sat in his girlfriend’s aunt's house, a joint in the ashtray and a can of Foster's next to the mouse pad, and he snooped. From time to time, some NASA scientist sitting at his desk somewhere would see his cursor move for no apparent reason. On those occasions, McKinnon's connection would be cut. This never failed to freak out McKinnon.

When asked if he is brilliant, he says no. He's just an ordinary, self-taught techie. And, he says, he was never alone. "Once you're on the network, you can do a command called NetStat - Network Status - and it lists all the connections to that machine. There were hackers from Denmark, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Thailand …every night," he says.

"I found a list of officers' names," he says, "under the heading 'Non-Terrestrial Officers' …. It doesn't mean little green men. What I think it means is not Earth-based. I found a list of 'fleet-to-fleet transfers', and a list of ship names. I looked them up. They weren't US Navy ships. What I saw made me believe they have some kind of spaceship, off-planet."

He was hacking immediately after September 11, 2001, but only because he wanted to see if there was a conspiracy. "Why did the building fall like a controlled series of explosions?" he asks. "I hate conspiracy theories, so I thought I'd find out for myself."

"I thought, 'Ooh, bloody hell.' And that's when I stopped for a while. And then my friend told me about DARPA. And so I started again."

DARPA is a collection of brilliant military scientists, funded by the Pentagon. DARPA has been widely credited with inventing, among other things, the internet, the global positioning system, the computer mouse, and - somewhat more boneheadedly - FutureMAP, an online futures market designed to predict assassinations and bombings by encouraging investor speculation in such crimes. The US Senate once described FutureMAP as "an unbelievably stupid idea". DARPA has long been of interest to conspiracy theorists because it is semi-secretive, bizarre and occupies that murky world that lies between science and war.

An excellent video presentation for those who make the time – actual transmissions from our Astronauts in space and our Earth bases. If you truly think we get all the news on television or our mainstream papers - this documentary by a dedicated and curious British Columbia man brings forth new and amazing information on other life forms around us and our space.
